Louisville coach Rick Pitino told reporters on Tuesday that hes still working to find the right lineup to suit his No. 11-ranked Cardinals.Its not ideal, but its likely what we need to keep going, said Pitino, who noted he expects to use four or five players in the paint until a pair of players become more reliable.That lineup will be on display Wednesday as the Cardinals (7-1) face Southern Illinois (5-3) at 7 p.m. in the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville.Pitinos shuffle in the low block has been made more complicated recently because 7-foot center Anas Mahmoud missed the last game and will miss both contests this week with a concussion.The medical file on Anas is about this thick, Pitino said, motioning a sizable margin. He just takes a little longer to come back, actually about 50 percent longer to return that other players -- and from everything, not just this concussion. ... But it has allowed us to get a better look at Matz (Stockman).The good news for Pitino is that he has options. Louisvilles roster is loaded with talented big men -- 6-foot-9 starting forward Jaylen Johnson, 6-10 starting center Mangok Mathiang, 6-10 Ray Spalding, 7-0 Mahmoud and 7-1 Stockman.The Salukis only have one player taller than 6-8 on the roster. Thats 6-9 sophomore post Rudy Stradnieks, who averages just 2.9 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.But Pitino said his crew cant take the Salukis lightly.They are a veteran team, Pitino said. They wont be intimidated by us, thats for sure.Pitino said he likes what he has seen in practice from a tall, quick lineup of 6-6 VJ King at one guard spot, 6-7 Deng Adel at another and Spalding in the post. That lineup provides Louisville with its most-athletic lineup, Pitino said Tuesday.While Louisville would prefer to speed things up, SIU coach Barry Hinson is known for slowing down the pace of a game. His teams are infamous for grinding defensive pressure, but he says they are having to change their ways this season with the NCAAs new emphasis on flow of action.Getting up on guys -- those days are over, Hinson told the SIU Daily Egyptian. Im an old school guy. Ive always been about get in their grill, get up, get in them, bother them -- do all this stuff. Those days are over.Hinson said he blames himself for not preparing his team for the changes better earlier this season.I think were finally starting to adjust a little bit, Hinson said. We fouled way too much in the first part of the season. We were way too aggressive on our defense with our hands and not getting into position and not moving, so I dont think thats as much our players fault as it is my fault.The Salukis started the season off with a tough 85-81 home loss to Wright State before falling 90-65 at Aransas. SIU returned home to beat Missouri Southern State, SIU-Edwardsville and Mount St. Marys before a 57-45 road loss at Minnesota on Nov. 25. SIU beat Murray State 89-65 in overtime last Tuesday and most recently beat Texas Southern 74-70.Senior guard Mike Rodriguez (14.5 ppg) and senior guard Leo Vincent (11.6 ppg) take the bulk of SIUs shots along with 6-4 wing Armon Fletcher (13.5 ppg).They are a veteran ball club, Pitino said. Rodriguez is always getting into the lane. Vincent can score. You have five guys scoring the ball. They play the game the right way.The Cardinals started the season 5-0 with wins over Evansville, William & Mary, Long Beach State, Old Dominion and Wichita State before falling to No. Baylor in the Battle 4 Atlantis title game 66-63. Since then, Louisville took down then-No. 15 Purdue 71-64 and beat Grand Canyon in Phoenix 79-70.I watched them play Purdue, Hinson said. I didnt sleep that night at all.Hinson, only half kidding about his lack of sleep, said he wants his team loose and ready to play Wednesday night.You know what? Lets lace them up and lets go, Hinson said. Weve got nothing to lose when we go there and were going to play. Itll be a great opportunity. Im looking forward to it.Yeezy Mujer Baratas .

In the first quarter, there was really no reason to panic. We knew that we were going to have to score more than 14 points if we wanted to win this ballgame.

Virginia Tech players said the breakdowns may have resulted from a bad week of practice.As a leader, I will do a better job of making sure my guys are in tune, Virginia Tech quarterback Jerod Evans said. I put this all on me.Tennessee: After averaging just below 3 yards per carry against Appalachian State, the Vols regrouped this week and ran the ball much more effectively. The Vols still must improve their passing attack and gain consistency along the offensive line.SPEEDWAY TO STADIUMThis marked the first football game to take place at the Bristol Motor Speedway since the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles played a 1961 exhibition game here that drew 10,000 fans to a facility that seated 20,000 at the time.Work began on the speedways temporary conversion into a football stadium the morning after a Sprint Cup race three weeks ago.
